Sean Connery... seen at his peak here in 1962... is the quintessential James Bond. The very first time where we first see Connery/Bond introduce himself to beautiful Sylvia Trench/Eunice Gayson (and to the world) is truly iconic... the mannerism and sophistication with which our hero carries himself... along with the right age projected... and of course the Bond music... what can I say! The producers got it right!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sean Connery s father was a long haul truck driver. Sean as a young lad helped deliver milk. Sean joined the Royal Navy at 15 but developed ulcers and was discharged for medical reasons. Sean worked as a bricklayer,a coffin polisher even a lifeguard. Sean was Scotland s representative in the MR World contest in London he finished third. Producers for the musical South Pacific needed men for the chorus and scouted the contest and Sean was hired for the chorus. Sean then worked in “”Rep” for over five years before being cast in the BBC version of “Requiem For A Heavyweight “ Sean made about 10 films before being cast as Bond James Bond. Including On The Fiddle”,He’ll Drivers” where he did drive a truck for the film and as noted “Darby O’ Gill and The Little People. “
@@buddyvilla7393 That Connery came very much from a working class background, really presses home what an incredible job director Terence Young did in transforming him into a globetrotting super spy with panache and style. Young had to show Sean how to walk, talk, sit, order from a menu, talk to a lady…I mean, EVERYTHING.
You mention the film Hell Drivers from 1957. Sean starred with Sid James. Both starred in Another Time, Another Place along side Lana Turner and we all know that Sean sorted Johnny Stompanato out. Herbert Lom Sean starred along side Herbert in a film from 1961 called The Frightened City 🏴🏴🇬🇧🇬🇧☝️☝️🙏🙏🤩🤩
Always loved the Bond films and Sean was always my favorite. Pretty interesting stuff. Some facts I already knew, others I didn't. Was amazed at how truly beautiful Lois Maxwell was in that very young photo.
Thank you so much for your comment. I love the Bond films as well. I hope to eventually make videos on all of them. I hope you stick around for them all. Have you checked out my From Russia With Love video? I'm almost done with Goldfinger, and should be released in a few days. And yes, Lois Maxwell was so pretty in her youth.
Monty Norman lived to 94 - a great age and only died mid 2022. In Dr. No Underneath The Mango Tree song I read that this was sung by Diana Coupland who was married to Monty for nearly 20 years ☝️☝️🙏🙏😊😊🏴
Some genuinely interesting and little-known facts here. Thank you. Having said that, the opening remarks are sometimes patronizing. I'm perplexed - for example - that you think it to be common knowledge that EON stands for Everything Or Nothing but apparently *don't* consider it common knowledge that James Bond was invented by Ian Fleming. P.S. Eon is a key word within the ranks of Freemasonry,
Haha. That's a great point! 😀 Who could possible know what EON means and not know about Ian Fleming. 🤣 and interesting trivia about the Freemasons. Thank you for your post. 🙂
FYI: The actor you said who played Felix Leiter in the TV series was British. He was in fact Australian. The actor was Michael Pate & he was born in Sydney Australia.
Patrick McGoohan had already played a noted spy in the lead-up to filming _Dr. No_: _Danger Man_. The series ended in 1961 but was brought back in 1964 (after its success in resale markets and the success of the film _Dr. No_).
At 16:55 it's said that tarantulas are "not poisonous"....well, that's sort of - but not quite - correct. They're not poisonous, they're venomous. All spiders are. The difference between poisonous and venomous is that poison just denotes a substance that may be toxic to certain organisms (like poison frogs or a poisonous plant) but it is a passive quality that happens to have toxic effects, while venomous means that a species actively uses a toxin for hunting and defense, and it is commonly delivered by bite or sting. Looks like the tarantula used in Dr. No was of the genus Avicularia, an arboreal (tree-dwelling) species from Central and South America. They are capable of delivering quite a nasty, painful bite, even though its toxicity is usually not dangerous to humans. But the adults grow into rather large spiders with half-inch long fangs. Good thing they tend to be fairly docile...
Thank you so much for that information. I learned something. 🙂 I raise a Chilean Rose tarantula myself. She is beautiful and very docile. Thank you for your post and keep the information coming.
@@TotallyAwesomeFilmsPodcastHow does your pet tarantula interact with you? Does she enjoy being handled or petted, and does she do anything we might consider “play”?
She's very friendly and loves being handled, and will crawl slowly on my desk while I read a book. However, I'm probably transposing my own psychology onto her. I'm not sure if she actually is having a relationship with me or not. But she is very calm. However, the coolest thing is feeding her live crickets. Then you see the hunter in her come out. It's brutal and amazing to watch.
That's right! You know your Bond. Casino Royale (1967) was a terrible, unwatchable movie (aside from Woody Allen) but it has one of the most interesting back stage production dramas of any movie. What do you think? Should I make a video about it?
That's a great point. And Connery in The Frightened City is certainly more Bond like than his role in Darby Ogill. However, The Frightened City didnt come out intil 1961 and Connery was already cast as James Bond by 1960, so the producers probably hadnt seen the movie yet. But you never know! 🙂 thank you for your post.
Gregory Ratoff purchased the movie rights to Casino Royale. He sold them to powerful Hollywood movie mogul Charles K. Feldman. This is Lorenzo Semple Jr.'s side of the story. Barbara Broccoli and Michael Wilson got the movie rights to Casino Royale in the year 2000.
For me, his calypso melodies aside, Norman’s dramatic underscore is atrocious and seriously dates the film in several key scenes. The James Bond theme would be absolutely NOTHING without the contribution of John Barry, who not only arranged and orchestrated it-but overwhelmingly composed the theme as well.
I agree with you 100%. John Barry's orchestral score transformed Monty Norman's little jingle. Without Barry, we wouldn't be celebrating the James Bond theme today. Thank you for your post.
@@TotallyAwesomeFilmsPodcast. I’ll go even further. John Barry was to the early James Bond franchise what John Williams was to Star Wars. The scores in Dr. No and From Russia With Love were decent considering the movies’ budgets, but there was a lot of reuse of the Bond theme, whereas starting with Goldfinger the use of the title songs melodies would be interwoven into the various scene music. I’d say starting with Goldfinger, the music of Bond became very much a movie character highly appreciated by the audience.
@@Primus54 I agree, and that’s largely due to the fact that by this time, despite his contribution to the first two films, Barry finally had full artistic control with the third film. Barry had much less music edit licensing with FRWL and especially Dr. No and that is why we hear the JB theme far too much, especially in the premier film, where Monty Norman provided nothing noteworthy to work with to showcase the flamboyance of James Bond. Barry in an interview once said, “When I saw the film, I couldn’t believe how they plastered the damn theme all over the place”. Had he scored the film, rather than merely write and arrange the main title, he would have provided a more complex score. As for FRWL, while he did provide the dramatic underscore at least, he still had little sway on the use of the Bond theme, which in the first half is way overused. It’s even heard in a hotel sequence where Bond is seen just walking around his room, and, in almost pastiche style, comically accelerates the pace of the scene. Barry would have either left the scene alone or provided a short, soft cue. Also, in the helicopter sequence, rather bizarrely, Norman’s music from the climatic set piece from Dr. No (the destruction of his lair) is heard, and the effect is very jarring and amateurish sounding-just as it was in the initial film.
Haha.🤣 I didn't realize how ridiculous that photo may seem. Even wierder, it's supposed to be a grandfather with his grandson. You know, generations of fans. Haha. Thank you for your post.
@TotallyAwesomeFilmsPodcast Thank you for having a sense of humor. I enjoyed your overview and I Subscribed. Please do more Bond behind the scenes... Cheers 🙂
Thank you for your comment. Connery was fortunate to get the role, and EON and the fans were lucky to get him. 🙂. May I ask, what is your favorite Bond movie and who is your favorite James Bond actor?
@@TotallyAwesomeFilmsPodcast My opinion is meaningless in the grand scheme. I'm just a former actor, fight choreographer and director, and current author of 600,000 words and 350+ non-A.I. illustrations.
If I had the surname of “Broccoli” I’d be in court to immediately change it to something less ludicrous. Perhaps, “Cauliflower.” “Cubby Cauliflower.” 👍
7 actors have played james bond on film if you count david niven - Sean Connery, David Niven, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig
That's right! You know your James Bond! I wonder if I should make a video about Casino Royale (1967). It's a terrible movie but the behind the scenes drama is so fascinating! Thank you for your post.
Before I get critical, I should say your synopsis was highly entertaining, possibly one of the better one's out there on the subject. Kudos. Well done. But... Lawrence of Arabia was a high-budget blockbuster and not a "Typical movie of the time" (any more than Dune is a typical movie today). What was accomplished with $1M is still impressive, Dr. No is an outstanding action movie, but it really did have the low-end of an average budget range for the 1960's... Just not the Blockbuster budget awarded to the legendary director David Lean. Terrence Young was not a big- budget director (yet). 1963's Cleopatra, the most expensive movie ever made at the time (it may still be, adjusted for inflation) was only $30M. $15M was a very big budget,
As I understand it Ian Flemming was not keen on SC as Bond. He was after Roger Moore from the get go. But he was tied up with the Saint. Similar to the Remington Steele issue. As you say SC seemed uncouth and coarse to IF. But was swayed by the director.
What?!?! I have spent that last 20 years thinking Peter Burton and Richard Burton were brothers. You just cleared that up. I just verified that they are not related. That is so weird! Mandela effect? Or just stupidity on my part? As for Ken Adams, I know its Ken Adam, but when you record for hours, human error mispronunciations happen, and one or two (or more) things just slip through my editing process. But thanks for watching and letting me know. I hope this doesn't deter you from watching more of my videos, and I hope you keep letting me know about any mistakes. My mind is blown that I've been wrong about Peter Burton and Richard Burton for 20 years! Thanks for the correction.
Ursula Andress is not German as you erroneously claim. She is Swiss German, born in Switzerland and of Swiss and German parentage. You completely negate the Swiss aspect of her lineage. Your error is akin to calling a Canadian an American.
I assume that the "centipede" that was replaced was a Jamaican "40-legs". I would rather have a tarantula crawl over me than a 40-legs anytime. Those suckers are huge - not big, but freaking HUGE, ugly, and have a bite to back it up. No way to shoot the scene.
Connery was an amazing "pretender" and completely failed to understand the nuances of this otherwise straightforward spy character. He converted the spy conveniently into "ladies man". Bond's popularity is pure propaganda power. A state-run propaganda.
I wish these UA-cam video presenters, in their narratives, would quit using the words "icon" and "iconic!" I am disgusted with having to constantly hear this word used when referencing iconic people, places and even iconic things! It is a tired and miserable cliche. And when I hear people expressing either of these two variations, I automatically think they are not literate, nor are they very ambitious, when it comes to appreciating and using our unique, iconic and beautiful English language in creative ways, which includes acknowledging all of the iconic word choices available. There seems to be an inherent unwillingness to go to a thesaurus, which is a book of words that are similar, called synonyms, to find fresher, more original, more iconic terms to replace these horrible two words, "icon" and "iconic!" It's stupidity and laziness! And...I will immediately go to another UA-cam channel video presentation that very moment I hear one or both of these variations of this one word come up in the less-than-iconic narration of the present video I'm watching. And a "Thumbs Down" goes with it, too!
@mikepeterson9362. Sorry, Mike. I get over 100 comments a day, every day, and over 700 comments a week. I had to search your original first comment. After I read it, I couldn't believe I forgot your name. It was literally the best comment I received all week, so I'm sorry I forgot your name. I did not, however, forget your comment. It meant a lot to me. Yeah, I love the James Bond franchise so much, I couldn't resist. Actually, I used to do an audio podcast which eventually changed to this channel and the James Bond franchise was how got it started. So there is a link between this channel and James Bond. By the way, have you listened to the banned Terence Young Audio commentary for the Dr No DVD? It's exactly what you're talking about. Terence Young got a little too candid and honest about some of stuff that went on backstage and it is horrifying, all the sexual harassment and Connery's treatment of women. Apparently Cubby Broccoli didn't know about it and was furious when he heard it. All the DVD's have been removed and presumably burned, 🤣 but you can find it on UA-cam. Thanks for commenting, and I am likely not to forget your name from now on (but no guarantees! haha)
@@TotallyAwesomeFilmsPodcast Kid, are you serious? Are you really asking if I listened to Terrence Young? He was one of the many offenders. Connery was the least of it. I know you're just here to make money on UA-cam off of others who fetishize this stuff, but Jezus, nostalgia porn really needs a gut-check. Andress is still alive -- go find her and look at her face.

“Danger Man”, known to the U.S. in its 1964 reboot as “Secret Agent Man”, clearly capitalizing on the spy craze of the ‘60s thanks to the Bond movies.

Actually, I used to do an audio podcast which eventually changed to this channel and the James Bond franchise was how got it started. So there is a link between this channel and James Bond. By the way, have you listened to the banned Terence Young Audio commentary for the Dr No DVD? It's exactly what you're talking about. Terence Young got a little too candid and honest about some of stuff that went on backstage and it is horrifying, all the sexual harassment and Connery's treatment of women. Apparently Cubby Broccoli didn't know about it and was furious when he heard it. All the DVD's have been removed and presumably burned, 🤣 but you can find it on UA-cam. Thanks for commenting, and I am likely not to forget your name from now on (but no guarantees! haha)
@@TotallyAwesomeFilmsPodcast Kid, are you serious? Are you really asking if I listened to Terrence Young? He was one of the many offenders. Connery was the least of it. I know you're just here to make money on UA-cam off of others who fetishize this stuff, but Jezus, nostalgia porn really needs a gut-check. Andress is still alive -- go find her and look at her face.
